Ann Haddoway. at 20 is troubled with severe & continual pain in his breast situated under the middle of the sternum & from thence at times it passes to the false ribs of the right side. This affection is always attended with a disagreeable cough, but upon coughing the pain of side is not so severely felt as that under the sternum. The sensation of this, when aggravated by coughing, resembles much she says the entrance of many needles.

Appetite pretty good. Belly regular. Menses have not appeard for these 16 months past. Pulse 60

The first appearance of the pain in her side, was about 16 months ago, at the same time with the menstrual obstruction. The cough began before that, but it has since been much encreased in violence

She attributes her other complaints to the menstrual obstruction. She has used no medicines
